Overview

Network Dataset

The dataset name is KNOKBUR, and includes the following two 10x10 matrices:

• • KNOKM non-symmetric, binary

• KNOKI non-symmetric, binary

Background

In 1978, Knoke & Wood collected data from workers at 95 organizations in Indianapolis. Respondents indicated with which other organizations their own organization had any of 13 different types of relationships.

Knoke and Kuklinski (1982) selected a subset of 10 organizations and two relationships. Money exchange is recorded in KNOKM, information exchange in KNOKI. See Knoke & Kuklinski (1982) for details.
